Nato to step up with challenge to support Ukraine

NATO defense ministers gathered in Brussels on Thursday.

We speak to our correspondent in Ukraine about the latest on the ground and about Nato's continued assurances that the alliance will be able to support the country's war effort. It comes as UK announced an urgent new air defence package for Ukraine.

After polls closed in Bangladesh’s first election since the student led protests of 2024, we hear from young voters about what the result could mean for the country’s future.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
